lyrics

Hey yeah you there
Stars in your hair
So what’s your name?
Oh now I see
No it can’t be
It’s just another game
Of “Please take me
And hide with me”
I can feel the shame
But now I see
Here we are free
Out there we’re all the same

Thought I’d stay on my own
But I haven’t grown

No I can’t think
I’m on the brink
Say it all again
I wanna be
Mrs. Misery
But Elliott’s not my friend

Oh I’ve been stepping too far
And I’ve been stepping way too hard
Old wounds have reopened now
And there’s no good way out

I get promised change
And I fall for it every time
Always had myself to blame
But now I’m losing my mind

Can’t fall back into that trap
Ditch that sugar sweet sap
Four years of memories
Haunting me unexpectedly
The guilt is starting to mount
Cause I know I’m better without
But nostalgia is hard to resist
Even when you’re good at getting pissed

I get promised change
And I fall for it every time
Always had myself to blame
But now I’m losing my mind

The best way to be free
Is to never belong to anybody
